Wesnoth support for asian languages

Since Wesnoth 0.9.0, it is possible to translate and use asian languages. So far, there are two asian translations: Chinese (unfinished) and Japanese (included in stable, some campaigns missing).

Since the size of the necessary fonts is too large, you'll need to download them separately (if you don't already have them). After that, simply copy the font to the fonts/ directory in your wesnoth installation.

Chinese font: gkai00mp.ttf
Japanese font: sazanami-gothic.ttf

You can contact okyada AT gmail DOT com , a Japanese translation maintainer as a reference for questions concerning08 asian fonts.

(by okyada) I have created a Windows binary which contains CJK fonts and can correctly display those languages with some modifications for Korean. Please try Wesnoth-1.1.8+svn-20060811.win32.zip if you're interested.

fail:

caution! : This screenshots show the failure example (Kanji characters are not shown) and the successful one. The failure may occur because you have not copied the sazanami-gothic.ttf into Wesnoth directory e.g. /usr/local/share/wesnoth/fonts (X11) or c:\Program FilesWesnoth\fonts (Windows) The current Wesnoth cannot find the fonts just installed on the system directory. This case you should see the following error message in stderr.txt repeatedly:

error display: Failed opening font 'sazanami-gothic.ttf'
